Kathmandu: Nepali Congress Chief Whip Shyam Kumar Ghimire has argued that it is not relevant to demand the Home Minister’s resignation based on the matter of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA)’s initiation of an investigation against a Joint Secretary.
According to National News Agency Nepal, in an emergency session of the House of Representatives, Ghimire highlighted that Rabi Lamichhane is still recorded in the Election Commission’s records as the chairperson of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). He raised concerns about the appropriateness of a person with five ongoing cases in court holding the position of party chairperson.
Ghimire further questioned the legitimacy of Lamichhane’s leadership within the RSP’s parliamentary party, given his suspension from his role as a Member of Parliament. He pointed out the absence of any announcements regarding changes in the RSP’s parliamentary party leadership, challenging Lamichhane’s current standing as its leader.
